Scott just verballed the umpire as he walked off the ground. You might as well talk to the cat. You'll get no joy talking to any umpire.

    I noticed that too. He had nothing to complain about but that’s pretty hard for a Scott.

    Not entirely related to this thread but does anyone know if the Cats v Dees game next week will be on Free-to-air TV? Or will we non-FOXTEL people get stuck with Brisbane v Adelaide? 

    Live on 7mate according to my Foxtel app.

    He can't help himself. Perpetual whinger.

    Hawkins looks like he is playing Melbourne. Dominating.

    Has been in a purple patch of form of late. Bit of a worry for us in a fortnight.

    Scott obviously has a great influence over Hawkins  - he has become one of the games greatest whingers.  

    Ablett has them both covered 'mono'...in his whole career I honestly think he believes not one free paid against him was there, nor anytime he's near the ball that he didn't deserve one.

    ...plus he's now become a real team player in his later years at Geelong and believes the same above applies to all his teammates.

    Selwood should get a week for a deliberate trip on Milera and not play us next week.  But its Selwood so they wont even look at it.

    Not looking past the Bulldogs but beating the Cats down at Geelong next week to move two games clear of them and make their path to  the finals very hard would be so, so sweet.

    Scott, Dangerflog Ablett, Selwood.....  they are so easy to hate.

    Geelongs bottom 10 are shthouse. Contain a few and smash them next week. 

    It is time.

    If We beat Dogs and go down to the cattery and knock em off we would have finished them off for the season.

    FYI (Kardinia Park): I live 20km from this dump and refuse to attend our games there (every bloody year) on principal.

    I have Platinum/Legends mship which gets me into all MCG and Etihad games.

    But not K Park.

    I go to all other Vic games and at least one interstate games each year. 

    Our cheer squad get shafted - placed on a flank as seats behind the northern goal (non Cats cheer squad end) fetch a premium.

    If you roll up and expect to get $25:GA you may be disappointed. Even though it won't be sold out they'll tell you that you need to pay $35 min. for a seat.

    They treat opposition supporters with utter contempt.

    Furthermore, night games can be dangerous for visiting supporters. Their supporters have spent all arvo in the pubs.

    I urge all MFC suuporters to boycott this game.

    Seriously why aren't geelong coming under more scrutiny?  They could possibly be out of the 8 by the weekend.  This is a team that got ablett back at the start of the year.  Yes they don't really have a ruckman but they have a pretty good midfield and forward line.  I would think if they miss finals its a massive fail. Although funny if they do miss. Ablett would feel like he is back at the gold coast

    I urge all MFC supporters to attend this game, as it's a massively important game in our season.

    And I think we can handle a few old ducks knitting scarves, even if they have been drinking all arvo.

    Not that he'd be a big out - but Tex's hit on Tuohy should be 2 weeks and therefore misses our game?

    He is lucky that he came back on, but had only eyes for the ball and still made high contact.

    Haha. Reminded me of days at Vic park and an old Pies fan Mrs Johnson who would sit on the fence in the outer and try to hit us over the head with her umbrella as we put the banners up. After a couple of years we worked out that the girls would do that part of the ground (and she allowed them to put the banner up - not the guys) as long as she could put her Pie's tea towel over our banner.

    At least 2 should be 3 eyes of the ball and elbow to the head. So what if Zach tuoy played out the game it was intentional high impact in my book it floored him.

    Yes, but Tuohy coming back on means he passed a concussion test. So whilst it was high contact, its not considered as bad.

    Tex is insufferable - so would prefer him to be out long enough for Adelaide to just miss finals. Means he can enjoy all the "success" Lever gave up.

    Carlton by 27 tonight. 4 score reviews in which 2 will be incorrect. Charlie Curnow to dominate and kick 7. 

    If you own a rent-a-crowd business, you’ve done well this week.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
